I meant to link to this before, but forgot until I ran across it again — 3 Quarks Daily is going to award prizes for good posts in the blogohedron
[I]n the interest of encouraging and rewarding good writing in the blogosphere, we have decided to start awarding four prizes every year in the respective areas [...]
I’m off to DAMOP. I’ve got a few posts in the queue, but other than that I’m probably diving deep and going silent until next week.
In the meantime, have some Jell-o shots. (1000 fps)

Last week I posted Rolling, Rolling, Rolling, with the video about the moment-of-inertia problem with the liquid-filled and ice-filled soda cans. Nick submitted the post to reddit (Thanks!), and I got a spike in traffic about 25x normal, for a day or so. That makes it (by far) my most popular post to [...]
My blog host folks have a good sense of humor.

Second power outage in two weeks. This time, 12 hours; came up about half hour ago. Stuff makes a bit of a racket when it all turns on at once.
Update: Power went out at work, briefly, in the offices in my part of the building. I’m cursed.
In my brief time in the blog-o-truncated-icosahedron (I’m not convinced it’s a sphere), I’ve gotten to know and be indifferent to the automatic pingback. The strange and wonderful spiders/bots that crawl the web and look for keywords, and link to your blog post. Much of the time, it happens because of some innocuous [...]
We are experiencing technical difficulties. Don’t know if this will even post.
